The Arc de Triomphe, an exceptional view of Paris

The panoramic view from the Arc de Triomphe

• From the panoramic terrace of the Arc de Triomphe, you can see the Eiffel Tower, the Champ-Elysées, the Concorde, Montmartre, La Défense… in short, all of Paris.
• The view is magnificent and allows a bird’s eye view of the dozen Parisian avenues around as well as a very beautiful perspective on the Champs-Elysées, up to the Concorde.

Paris by night

• The Arc de Triomphe, is open until 11pm from April to September (last access at 10.15pm)
• The rest of the year, the Arc de Triomphe is open until 10:30 p.m
• We really recommend the night view. It’s wonderful.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

At the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier pays tribute to the 1.3 million French soldiers who died during the First World War. It was in 1921 that the Unknown Soldier was buried there! The flame of remembrance is rekindled every day at 6:30 p.m.
